Bounty & Edris | Character dialogue

Edris

I was reading about how some of the most exciting explorations are actually linguistic quests—like finding a language spoken only on a remote island before it disappears. Ever thought about that?

Bounty

Sounds like a perfect adventure for someone who likes the rush of uncovering the unknown. If a whole language can vanish, then finding it is the ultimate treasure hunt. What’s the next island on your list?

Edris

The next island on my list is Roti in Indonesia. Its language, also called Roti, has only a handful of speakers left. It feels like a tiny, time‑stopped treasure hunt, and I’m eager to hear its stories before they slip away.

Bounty

That’s the kind of thrill I live for—an island, a dying tongue, a whole culture waiting to be snapped up before the silence takes over. Pack your gear, lock the doors, and jump in. The stories won’t wait around, so let’s go claim them before they fade.

Edris

I’m all for the adventure, but I think a careful, respectful approach is key. We should arrange a meeting with the community first, learn their stories, and then document the language before it’s gone. That way the treasure stays alive in a meaningful way.

Bounty

That’s the smart play—show up, listen, and help keep the fire alive. I’ll jump in, get my gear ready, and make sure we treat it with the respect it deserves. Let’s make sure the treasure stays alive for the next wave of explorers.

Edris

That’s exactly the approach we need—listen first, then share, so the language can live on. I’ll start gathering the preliminary materials and see what resources we can bring to help the community keep their stories alive. Let’s keep the excitement focused and respectful.

Bounty

Sounds like a plan. I'm ready when you are—let’s bring the gear and keep it real.
